Collection of 13 Chassidic Seforim of She'eris Ha'Pleta, - A collection that includes 13 Chassidic books, which were printed during the 1940's in the Displaced Persons Camps in Europe: Fernwald, Munich and more.  The survivors took the initiative and established one of the most interesting and symbolic enterprises of She'erit Ha'Pleta in Germany: the printing of various religious books. In improvised printing presses, they printed Chumashim and prayers books, commentary and Midrashim, books of the Rishonim and Achronim, Mussar and Hassidism books and of course, Halacha books, which were used daily. The publication process was usually similar: the initiative was of the survivors themselves and the funding was of Va'ad Ha'Hatzala of the Rabbis of America. There were also survivors who personally funded the publication and dedicated the books – already there in Germany – to the ascent of the souls of their beloved. The books that were printed were given and sold to individuals and to the Torah institutions that were established at the Displaced Persons Camps. The crowning glory of this printing enterprise at the Displaced Persons Camps was the printing of the Talmud. ”Va'ad Ha'Hatzala” of Agudat Ha'Rabbanim in the USA, headed by Rabbi Rose and Rabbi Shmuel Abba Snieg, initiated a reprinting of the Babylonian Talmud, funded by the JOINT and the American Military Rule. The rabbis saw it as an operation of the greatest Jewish importance: to return the study of the Talmud to its central place in Jewish life.
